[The reduction of radiation burden in mammography using film-screen combination systems].
The comparison of mammographic image recording systems TF-13-nonscreen film and ORTHO-MA with MIN-R screens leads to the necessary conclusion, that mammography should be carried out only with screen film combinations and an anti-scatter grid. This means improved contrast and a reduction of radiation dose to 1/3 of the dose of TF 13. Since in the GDR the film XR 10 still is used as mammographic film the fourfold of the internationally possible dose is required. The urgent change of the situation can only be achieved with respective imports.
